Collecta horses

Never liked Collecta horses very much (some of them have quite strange proportions), but the new molds by Deborah McDermott made me change my mind. So now I have a small herd of them, that's still growing:)Here are some of their pics.A Friesian stallion Deathweaver.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

And two old Collecta horses:A Thoroughbred mare Nettle with her foals[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and a Shetland pony Oscar (taken for repaint)[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Those are all wonderful! The older standing TB mare with her foals are high on my wantlist. I *almost* ordered them today, but got the Papo English TB instead. I will definitely have to get those next time!

WOw! Beautiful additions Daria and I'm glad the Andalusian Dairmaid (lovely name! They all have) made it to your collection I think my favourite is the new Thoroughbred. I still need the Lusitano and Tennesse.

I think you'd like her- she has a strong individuality. I even am not sure that the new TB mare mold is better than hers))

SUSANNEQuite agree with you. However, there are some difficulties with getting their figurines in Scandinavia (esp Finland and Sweden, as I can see), Russia and some other countries.It's a pitty.

HKHollinstoneHe's so great. I like him very much. However, he needs his Grainne now:) So I'm looking for an Andalusian mare for him:) Wish you'd get the missing equines soon.

ken yeoYou know, he might be looking rather plain on promo photos, but in real life he's really cool:)Thinking on getting a pinto version of him:)

MartinH, RogerThank you) The only thing I do not really like about them is that many of them have very similar heads, no matter a Tennessee Walker it is, an Andalusian or a TB. Never noticed it in McDermott resins, but her Collecta molds have this point.

MangalargaHope you'll get them soon)And yes, Gaelic is a very beautiful language, I like the way it sounds, though understand very little of it (esp because of my interest in Celtic mythology in general and Unseelie Court and Lesser Fae, and brook horses- in particular).

wow! the old ones have their charm, but the new ones are really superb models! To be expected if Deborah McDermott is now sculpting for them!

Beautiful horses, thanks for showing Daria. You've chosen wonderful names for them! I like the Adalusian most, but all sculpted be Deborah are really good figures. I love also the head of Tennessee Walking horse

Just the pictures I was searching for. I've never heard of Collecta until i joined, tell me, do they sell these in Canada?

That thoroughbred is WANT

I think they do. Or you may try to order them via utterlyhorses.com. AFAIK, they ship worldwide.

Thanks to Ezhilan I have two more Collecta horses now.

The Hanoverian bay stallion. He has no name yet, but I think my small Hanoverian herd is pleased to meet him anyway:)And what a gorgeous bay color he has! Yes,I'm in love with bay horses .His forelegs are a bit curved because of his long journey from India, but I think hot water would help me to solve that problem.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The second one is a Lusitano buckskin stallion. Funny enough, but my friend gave me a grey Lusitano as a present at the same day I received the package from India))So now I have both of them! And- how different they look, though technically the differ only in color. The buckskin one seems to be lighter, and the grey one reminds me of mustangs. He's so furious...[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Thanks to Roger I have the black TB mare now:)She's really nice, and I believe that she's even more interesting than the bay one. At least she's brighter :) Unlike to other Collecta horses from my collection, this one has no name yet.

My father went abroad on a business trip, and got three new CollectA horses there:)I'm already waiting for a package of those from the US, but was pleased to get them (these molds are great for customizing).The Shire mares 2012, mold by Deborah McDermott[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

On the promos I was after the black one, but in real life she seems to be quite plain. However, after repainting she might become a gorgeous thing:)[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The grey one is really awesome, and silky :) [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

The QH Stallion, Sorrel, mold by D. McDermott as wellIt was said to be a mare in the catalogue, but... well, the foals would get a father instead of mother=)[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]I'm in love with his head[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]and his gorgeous tail![You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

Well, here are the pics of CollectA horses 2013.Together with Schleich or CollectA (old ones), just to compare.Shetland pony. Silver dapple on promo photos seemed to look better, I think[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Dartmoor pony. I believe this is one of the best equine figures ever made! Even though the paintwork's terrible (as always), the mold itself is awesome!BTW, the black one differs so much from the 2010 CollectA- black horses [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Fjords.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Even though many people say they don't look as the horses of this breed usually do, I cannot completely agree. In the USSR we had a breed type that looked not that light and slim, that was popular in sport. For example the famous Absinth, that has taken the Olimpic gold in 1960, belonged to this type.[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Clydesdales[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
